Let’s face it. As much as we turn a blind eye or become so extremely oblivious to it, the Indian society still gets a lot of flak for stereotypes that puts the race under a negative spotlight that blends into hate and racism for the Indian community.
“India kaki botol, India suka pukul orang, India semua ganas.” These are just some of the negative perceptions placed and spread around the rest of the community, not to mention the extensive use of a derogatory term to further add spite into their insults, “keling.” That couldn’t be further from the truth, and a sentiment that is faced by Indians daily when in reality, it’s only 1 apple out of a 1000.
Which is a premise that Sayla is against, and is strongly worded in his new song, “Keling In Em.” A stern reminder, that Indians had as much contribution in all facets of society, some more so than the others, especially in the literal building of our country.
“The Dr. M has some keling in em…….”Now Everyone Can Fly,” there’s a keling in em,” the song is a reminder to the racists out there Indians are very much part of the societal fabric, and we would not be Malaysia without the contributions of the Indian society.
